'Nina.Cecilia | creative spark'is a professional photography business developed by a set of twins who inherit the same passion: capturing those special moments that are so often overlooked in everyday life.

The adorable and delightful founders, Nina Williams and Cecilia Moyer, describe their photos as a, "focus on lifestyle photography, catching people in their own personal environment." These two pride themselves in their ability to take edgy, candid shots all while extracting a form of art from a photograph.

These two photograph in Peoria, IL; Pella, IA; Des Moines, IA; Cedar Rapids, IA; Dubuque, IA; and its surrounding areas though are more than happy to travel a reasonable distance outside these regions at an additional cost.

Have I had the pleasure of working with these two? You bet! Our family enjoyed every second of our family photo shoot with Nina.Cecilia | creative spark!

The best thing about Nina and Cecilia is that they really focus on making everybody feel comfortableand capturing real-life shots. When our family shot with them, we basically played around in the local park as they took pictures of us at ease.

It is my belief this relaxed environment is what helped our family pictures to turn out so wonderful! I have personally worked with over 10 professional photographers in my life and 'Nina.Cecilia|Creative Spark' are by far my favorite!

The shoot was so natural and effortless that even my fiance' enjoyed it! Can you imagine a big dirty, football-loving laborer enjoying a photo shoot?! Well, he did!

Our pictures sincerely resulted in a work of art.

I am a huge fan of Nina.Cecilia. They took my kids' pictures a few months ago, and I was amazed at what was captured by film. My favorite picture, of course, is or my two kids in the bathtub surrounded by bubbles. Love it!And yes, I am a facebook fan!

ONE (there are many more) of my favorite photos is under the kids section, it's of the little girl outside walking on rocks outside near a lake with trees in the background. Love the the pic. and the scenery.

I am already a fan of Nina.Cecilia creative spark on facebook. I love the shot of Jessica Fiori in her bright red shirt for her senior pictures!! We had a wonderful time with Nina and Cecilia at our session and were 100% happy with the pictures and service!!

One of my favorite pictures is of the little girl with curly hair holding the red flowers....I love it! I love the different types of pictures you take and look forward to getting pictures taken for different events in the future:)

I love Nina and Cecilia's work, especially all the black and white photos of babies. My favorite is a little baby boy sitting on a dock. I would use the sitting for pictures of my baby who will be 2 this June.ps-I'm also a facebook fan!

I have lots of favorite pictures but my favorite are of the babies. I love the little spots or positions that you put them in. I absolutely love the little baby girl laying on her stomach with a big pink tu tu on. You both do a great job capturing moments that are otherwise hard to capture.

I love the black/white picture with the mother/father holding their hands in a heart shape with the babies little feet in the middle. The babies little toes has the mother and father's wedding rings---Love that!!!

I love how creative Nina & Cecilia are, their work is truly truly amazing! It comes so naturally to them, after we had our family shoot done I was blown away at how beautiful our pics turned out! These will be memories we will have forever to look back on, that means more then words could ever say! Thanks girls!

My favorite picture... how do I pick? I love nearly every picture created of Elise, especially the one of her clapping under the tree! We were encouraged to hire Nina.Cecilia after viewing a series of photos taken of Avery eating her birthday cake. They made us laugh and couldn't be any more inviting!

I LOVED Lyndi's maternity shoot.. the picture of her and Bret holding hands with the shadow of them kissing was art in its finest form!!! :o)I definitely wanna have Hudson and my pictures taken again and maybe he will be in a better mood!!!

Another very cool picture is under the engagement pictures where you see the bottom half of the couples legs and then their shadow of them kissing. I had commented on this pic. then. So awesome! If I were them I would have been very pleased with my engagement photos!

Love the pic of the family with the cute little girl in the orange sweater where they are holding her arms to walk and you do not see the parents head. I am hoping to get some pic. like this with our family! :)

Love the pictures of the young kids, especially siblings. Jawnica's and Derrica's pictures are so cute! I am expecting my first child in April, so I would use the package for a our wonderful little girl!

We live in Peoria, and love Nina's work. She did photos of our newborn and family, and they were GREAT. I like the pics of the two boys with their bare feet showing. I am a FB friend of Nina's and a fan of Creative Spark!...would use this session forour baby's 1yr photos!

I am a HUGE fan of Nina and Cecilia photography and my favorite photo is of my son, Hayden, his eyes look so blue it is amazing!! I've even turned two of my friends on to their photos and both scheduled family pictures with them and loved their results as well!! Their pictures are like works of art! Keep up the great work ladies!

Hey! I love the pics of Mia and Brooke. Every picture looks like they could be in a magazine and the girls are just adorable! If I were to win we'd use the free session for a maternity session. I am due 8/2/2010 and I would love to have maternity pics taken with my son who is 18 months old!
